How do you get faster with Yau? I average somewhere around 58 seconds and i want to get to sub-50.
Any tips or tricks to improve?
Turn faster. Besides that try to have as little pause time as possible during cross edges.

Hello! I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I came across this problem in my new 4x4 that I couldn't find anything on the internet. Every so often when I'm solving the first layer, all 4 corners are not orientated correctly even I do the same algorithm I always do for the corners. It doesn't happen all the time, but I don't know what to do to fix it? I usually end up just mixing it up again and hope it doesn't show up. I'm not sure if anyone has this problem before either? I attached a picture to show what I mean though. Is there an algorithm to fix it? anyway thank you for reading!

Like uberCuber said, your centers are wrong. In clockwise direction, you can see green, then yellow, then red. But you have to place them as green, red, yellow. The "white opposites yellow, red opposites orange and blue opposites green" is not enough.
Here is a quick algorithm to fix that:
r2 R2 E2 r2 R2 E2
Any good Yau tutorials or other fast 4x4 methods?
I average around 1:25 with reduction and i find it hard to get better. My splits are around 15-45-25. What are the ways I could improve? I pair three edges at once.
any good websites or tutorials for hoya?
I've been solving 4x4 for a few weeks now, and for the past week I've been trying to learn Yau. All the videos on YouTube are confusing to me. Even cubers like CBC's videos are confusing to me. Does anyone know a website that helps with Yau Method? Also, can anyone help explain CBC's 4x4 edge pairing video in more detail to me? The thing I'm really having trouble with is making the centers after making the three white edges and then keeping the white edges together when pairing up the non-white edges/ keeping the white egdes in their place. Thank you for all your help!
Thanks for the help.After you make the three white edges, hold the 4x4 so that the white centre is on the left, and the three white edges are at BL, DL, and FL. You then restrict your moves to triple layer 3R turns, double layer 2R turns, R turns, M-like slice moves, and single layer U turns.......
I would suggest that once you start to get it more, and get your times better to watch a ton of example solve videos. They really helped me when i learned Yau, not that i am that fast now, but still.Thanks for the help.
How to actually get Sub 1:40 on 4x4?
I am awful at 4x4. I use yau, and I get 2 minutes average on my Aosu. I average 22 seconds on 3x3 so I'm really surprised. My centers are extremely slow. How can I get faster at 4x4 in general?
Breakdown:
Centers 50/1:00
Edges 30
3x3 30
Thanks,
Computer
